My final (but not so final) numbers, and my new business!

Well hello everyone! What a whirlwind 4 months it has been! Thanks to the readers, whoever you are, for sharing this journey with me! Also thanks to my family, and the friends that have been supportive of me since day one - it's much appreciated! A HUGE thank you to my amazing pilates instructors over at Demi-Bar Pilates - Sheila, Jen, Julie, Pauline, Tami & Katie! You ladies helped me re-shape my body and shave those inches away!

Speaking of inches, here's my final results!

I went from 128 lbs to 117 lbs - lost a total of 11 lbs! 

Waist: -4.5 inches

Hips: -6 inches

Thighs: -4.5 inches

Arms: -1 inch

Pant Waist: -6 inches

Chest: -5 inches

That's a total of 27 inches lost! I have old jeans that fit again, clothes that are too big on me... it really is a great feeling. I can't stress enough how great the demi-bar pilates has been. I have arm muscles! Actual biceps that don't look like creepy woman bodybuilder biceps! My thighs and my stomach, while seeing some decent improvement, are still an area of concern. That's okay though, because this journey is not over! Why? Well, one reason is our Laguna Beach vacation coming up in just 7 weeks. Another reason is, my BEST friend Stephanie over at The Single Slant is getting MARRIED!!!! So I've got to keep up the hard work to look good at her wedding too! We've got a little over a year to go, and I'm already looking forward to seeing what kind of results I'll have a year from now - there is NO room for slacking! If you are interested in following Stephanie's wedding planning journey, you can do so over at Bellissima Bride.

The final piece of information that I would like to share with you is that I have started a new side business. I recently became obsessed with cake pops, and since I've had some extra time on my hands, I've been experimenting with making all different kinds. My first attempt was for the bridal shower, where I made cheesecake pops and also made cute stands to display them on - they were a huge success, so I just kept on going! I decided to start up a little side business called Pops By Kristina - you can find me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter,  email me or call me at 708.316.POPS for more information. I can do birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, bachelorette parties, you name it! It's so fun to be creating cute little treats to share with others. Please wish me luck with my new business venture!

I will leave you with some photos of the wedding, and of my work. Thanks again everyone!
